Not quite. It is up to Quality to reject non-conformant product. If BMW decided to purchase a seat that doesn't quite match your expectations it isn't QC's job to intersect... that's your job when shopping at the dealership.
Overall quality from product line to product line could signal a change in company policy, increased / decreased market competitiveness, program management, and several other factors... Location isn't likely to be one of them.
